though I burn (how could I fall) by inquisimer
Fandoms: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Video Game)
13 Sep 2025

Summary
“That has nothing to do with this.”
“Doesn’t it?” Marisol picks up her phylactery and turns it over. “For all that you resent Fulgeno, he is part of you. Part of your past, part of the reason your present is what it is. As the Circle is part of mine.”
She traces the runes with a blunted nail. “Why not eradicate the parts of our past that hurt? That were not ours to control?”
Viago scoffs, almost. There is something halfhearted about it, like he wants to refute what she says, but only gets part of the way there. It doesn’t matter— she’s already picked apart the pieces of any argument he might make.
Years before the Dread Wolf aims to take down the Veil, Teia recruits a thief (an elf, a mage, a spark) from the gutters of Salle—and gets exactly what she bargained for.
(Or: no one has told the Crows of House Cantori that they are not the exception to every rule, and Viago wishes that someone would.)

Summary
The child is unexpected, not unwanted. Holding their fate in her hands, Arlow confronts the doubts that linger from her contract with the Veilguard.
"If we raise them, how can they be anything other than exactly what we are?" she whispers. Thinks of Viago's hand pushing her off the docks; of Caterina's cane; of blood and sweat and bile, and how every story ends in a scar.
"Are we such a terrible thing to be?"
"I don't know anymore." The admission falls too fast from her lips, escaping before she can swallow it back. "I hate that I don't know anymore."

Summary
Before a date, Vanthi worries her experience won't be up to par, and Rosamund offers her help with that.
There’s a beat where she regrets the offer. Where Vanthi’s lips part, just slightly, and she blinks. A beat before realization hits her like a druffalo and her eyes go wide. But just as Rosamund opens her mouth to laugh it off as a joke, Vanthi whirls around and grips her elbows.
“Truly? Would you? That would make me feel so much better, Rosa, if you don’t need to be anywhere else? I mean if you do, that’s okay, but if you don’t—?”
“No, no I don’t.” Her voice sounds distant, even to her own ears, the pounding of her heart in her throat too present, too loud. “I offered, didn’t I?”

a new kind of alibi by Sinister_Queer

Summary
For a moment, Lucanis thought she was still asleep—caught in the memories of other bodies in her bed—but the twist of her spine to draw herself closer to him could not be anything but intentional.
“Lucanis,” she sighed, guiding his hand up to the warm space just beneath her breasts. “It’s so early.”
Her head tipped back, rolling to flash him bright, brilliant eyes as her lips parted in a warm sigh. His brows knit as Teia’s liquid spine rolled against him, the brush of her heel against his calf, the nudge of her—of her against his hips.
Something was wrong
(AKA: Lucanis and Teia pretend to fuck to distract guards, and then actually fuck. Viago gives them cover, and watches.)

Summary
Bellara stares wide-eyed at Rook. “So, they call you the cuckoo because…”
“Oh, I didn’t kill anyone!” Rook amends, then laughs at herself. “No, not true, I absolutely did. But not other Crows. No, cuckoo’s just a good nickname.”
~
Rook's never really belonged in the Crows. Does the end of the world care about belonging? Not really.

Summary
A year and a half before the events of Veilguard, Varric, Harding, and Rook take a detour in Treviso.
—
Lightning, hot and consuming, shoots down Lucanis’s spine. His name, whispered from those lips with the barest touch to his ear. He just might die like this. His hand, the one that’s not resting dangerously low on her waist, the one that holds her more respectfully, clenches into a fist— a futile effort to steady himself.
Rook’s hand, the one not over his heart, trails across his shoulders, leaving flames in their wake. Long, long fingers threading under his hair on the back of his neck, thumb at his jaw. Another thought flashes: the feeling of those silk gloves against his skin, tracing his face as he drowns in her exquisite taste. Her, lips shaping his name just like that murmur in his ear, again and again and again—
“Do you like it when I say your name,” she presses her lips closer, dragging against his ear, nose in his hair. “Lucanis?”

All My Friends Are Sad & Bright by sorrygoldfish

Summary
Rook's life is a mess, objectively speaking, and keeping the Lighthouse coffee bar running after the year she's had isn't making it any easier. Then she meets Lucanis Dellamorte, a rich guy with enough skeletons in his closet to fill a graveyard, and her life gets even messier. Grief is weird, being an adult is hard, and falling in love might be the messiest thing of all.
This is a story about two people falling in love, but it’s also my love letter to the friend group. It’s not a very serious story, except when it is (because life’s not that serious, except when it is.)
(Title from the poem by Cameron Awkward-Rich)

Livia Mercar has spent her entire life on the streets of Minrathous learning how to manipulate people to do exactly what she wants them to do. But the streets are hard, and cold, and miserable, and she's growing too old for that life. She needs a new start. A new life.
Preferably, a rich one.
She's scraped together every coin she can lay her hands on and reinvented herself into a gently bred lady of the Ton. She has every intention of marrying one of the bachelors in Treviso -
But perhaps she's set her sights on the most dangerous one of all.
